Thanksgiving has always been such a special month for me. Luckily, I am able to share the month of my birthday with my grandmother (or rather she is sharing it with me). My birthday is on the 23rd; hers is on the 27th, and the fact that they're only a few days apart makes it even better. Our birthdays sometimes fall on the day of Thanksgiving too, so it's always a full month of being thankful and spending it with my grandmother and the rest of the family.

To My Fairy Grandmother,

Thank you for always showing me love and support through anything and everything. Thank you for always taking care of me and always teaching me the simplest things that I will forever remember and take with me. If it wasn't for you, I probably wouldn't love reading books the old-fashioned way or be as interested in baking as I am. The zoo wouldn't be as amazing and exciting to visit all of the time if it wasn't for you bringing me along when I was younger. Because of you, I love learning how to cook new recipes, admire musicals, and adore plays like "The Nutcracker," and so much more.

You are caring, loving, beautiful, and bright. You have so many great hobbies and talents, and I thank you for teaching me a few of your favorite things. Your love for elephants is beyond adorable. Since I know you don't enjoy taking photos, I decided to make this cover photo an elephant pair of two. You are a great pet owner and an AMAZING grandmother. You give the best advice, cook the yummiest food, and take no crap for nobody.

I have always been afraid of losing you because I've heard the many stories of others who have lost their grandparents and I know I will never be ready. One thing I want you to always remember is that I love you more than anything in this world. I have always worked so hard to reach my goals because you have taught me how to be so strong. The faith you have in me always keeps me going and your full love and support is everything.

I hate how busy life is now and the lack of time I ever have to be able to spend time with you. As things get easier, I will always make time for you. It's hard to go too long without visiting you and just catching up. I love you always, and I wish you the best birthday of all this year. I am so lucky to share my birth month with my favorite person.

Love Always,

Princess J

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
